We have not yet had anything like a real war; only a little border pro- tecting duty along the Mexican frontier. But it has shown one thing; that the Hay bill and the militia as at present organized are not the answer to the country’s demand for a first line of defense on land. Reports from the war department show that 355 resignations of com- missioned militia officers were accepted in the brief period between July 20 and October 25. This does not cover the resignations tendered—only those accepted. To get his resignation accepted an officer must show at least some quite plausible reason, such as bad health, failing eyesight or a need at home More important than looking after business or taking care of his family, Doc- tor’s certificates and things are necessary. If 355 resignations have been accepted it is easy to guess at the num- ber tendered. The war department officers have not compiled the data, nor do they feel at liberty to say much about it without permission from the secretary of war. But congress will soon know all about it and will have to be furnished with a full list of resignations tendered and accepted. Defend- ers and critics of the Hay bill will have a right to know just how its provis- ions have worked. Evidently they have worked badly There is some excuse for the enlisted men in the ranks wanting to out and get home, because the pay of a private in the militia is not sufficient BUT THE PAY OF get for a man to support a family or d pendent relatives. MILITIA OFFICERS ORDERED TO THE FRONT IS THE SAME AS THI PAY OF REGULAR ARMY OFFICERS, AND THEY HAVE NOT THE EXCUSE OF POVERTY. Another big difference between the the guard is that the enlisted man can’} ficer can. And they have evidently been doing it. These gentlemen descended in numbers on congress and demanded that the militia be given the honor of defending their beloved country—and incidentally that the pay of mili- tia officers and the allowance from the federal government in funds, sup- Plies and equipment be greatly increased. It was these officers who threw out their chests and assured the lawmak- érs that the militia was entirely competent to do all the defending that the country needed, and that there must be no continental army, or federal vol- unteer army, to usurp the proud functions of the patrotic militiamen. Well, the opportunity came. The men in the ranks went to the front. They went in many cases without proper equipment, without shaes, without uniforms, without horses, without ammunition—and in some without food. The officers who had been running the militia had made in some commissioned and enlisted men in resign” and the commissioned of- ete cases, mysterious manner with millions of dollars’ worth of federal government plies. The ENLISTED MEN in the militia are still on the bord Served their time there. BUT NINE PER CENT OF THEIR TOOK THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO QUIT! Congress is not likely to be impressed with the record of these 355 gold- laced gentlemen who took to the tall timber as soon as they had the first taste of a dog tent and army rations, even without the powder and shot ac- companiment of real war. Congress will be equally who tried to resign, but have not so far succeec anxious to learn the names of the gentlemen Jed. a ese eecinieet ! | Chivalry and Shame 4 TATISTICS of illegitimacy in this country are to be « piled under the direction of Miss Julia C.
